I tried. The sheriff just doesn't give them out. 1 person got one in 2013. An elderly jeweler. If I lived in South San Francisco or Oakland I could get one, just not in SF proper.

This is California. We have to pass a background check to buy one. CCW is at the local sheriff's discretion. He doesn't give them out.

I wish I could get one. SF issued 1 in 2013 to an elderly jeweler who will never use it. It sucks.

Sadly not all of us can get a ccw. They're just not issued in San Francisco at all, sometimes they're prohibitively difficult to get.

Just about daily around here.

That's no fun!

Why is it so damn difficult for companies to admit they need to encrypt their databases?! I can't even get my boss to agree to encrypt our public facing db. "It'll never happen to us" "They'll never get past the firewall"

So they're going to build buildings to contain radioactive material that the buildings built to contain radioactive material couldn't contain?

If I were actually concerned about the NSA or anyone else turning on my webcam I wouldn't use tape, I'd use goatse.

That's not the case at all. I don't see myself as superior, I see myself as equal. You, sir, are the person who is saying what someone else does in the privacy of their bedroom is beneath you.

That source isn't the most reliable, it was just the first link I saw. It's a real thing, currently banned for import in the US.

This little guy is capable of firing a round at about 300fps. Potentially fatal at close range and in the right spot.

Sure, those events suck but if you believe that's all there is to life you're going to spend your short time on this planet as a miserable individual.

Look through the comments on this thread. Lots of people still care if someone is straight or gay. Sure, they're in the minority and on the wrong side of history but they do still exist.

Life is what you make it. There are no easy paths, there are no handouts, there are no magical fairies waving their wands to make your life better.

That's the difference between being out and coming out. Who I love doesn't define me, nor should it.

So what you're saying is its cool to be gay, but the gays need to have sex the same way you do, ya know, with girls.

nope. It's extremely possible to do. The antivirus/endpoint protection suite I run at work is capable of it, it's fairly common software.

ok, so turn them both on.

There's a module for the endpoint protection software we use at work that's capable of turning on the camera and mic with no indicator lights. We didn't buy that license. The LAST thing I want to see is what the people in my office are doing in front of their laptop at night.
